Epic Of Caterpillar

They descended through the staircase that went down as we entered the next couple of floors. Because it would be too much to explore a floor and then go back to the stairs, I just used Labyrinth Sovereign Magic to open up the floors one by one, creating slides that went down.

Unlike the previous two floors that combined both icy zones and damp, saltwater pond biomes, the next ten floors were of pure and perpetual winter.

Large amounts of snow-filled entire floors, alongside frozen walls and ceilings everywhere, ice would naturally accumulate due to the dampness and water from the floors above, and the coldness would then convert it all into a sea of snow, where many monsters lurked around.

These floors reminded me of the ones we explored on our first visit, I suspected that these might lead to the Ice Fairy Empress boss that we once fought, I think it dropped some nice weapons for Amiphossia at that time, which had since then been upgraded a couple of times by me, while also being merged with many other weapons, it still a Mythical+++ weapon, but it is very strong.

As we walked through the snow-covered floors, we encountered many new monsters that we didnʼt see on our first visits, such as large ice-adapted snakes covered in ice crystal scales who had two heads and only one eye in each head, Two-Headed Cyclops Winter Snakes, who had the power to manipulate the snow and create hardened ice weapons with them, they were rather evasive, but Valentia devoured them in one munch.

As we went down, the floors began to get infested by Snow Golems and Ice Golems, but my children, especially Marduk, took care of them quite fast.

I had the urge of just dropping a few fireballs with ʼHeliosʼ and just melt everything, but that would probably kill the fun that my children were having.

Marduk in specific did just what I was thinking, but his flames were weaker than my ʼHeliosʼ, of course.

Mardukʼs fire came primarily from the dragon heads he had at the point of his tentacles, which would throw fireballs or fire breath, melting the ice and snow golems instantly, converting them all into the water and even evaporating the water. However, the range was not big, so he needed to develop that more.

As he leveled up and developed his skills, he and his two sisters began to master the use of their heads, as each head in their tentacles had eyes on their own, which meant that their vision was inherently very wide. By going through this logic, they needed to learn how to use their abilities and aim at each angle they were watching… of course, this was very taxing for young children, so I let them figure it out slowly on their own.

Afterward, we came across large groups of what seemed to be Giant Winter Foxes, large foxes of over three meters of height that were covered in white fur.

Amiphossia who came with her party noticed the cute wolves and wanted to adopt one, just like it happened with Sesshomaru and Seishin.

”Ah~ Arenʼt they super cute?” asked Amiphossia as she glanced at the scared group of foxes being slowly slaughtered by the harpy siblings.

”If you want one pick it quickly or your siblings will kill them all, my dear,” I said.

”Wait, Amiphossia-sama! Am I not enough?! Why must you seek more Foxes?! I-I am a fox!” said Sesshomaru, who, after going through forced evolution induction, became a three-meter tall werefox beauty with very feminine features across her body such as immensely large breasts and wide hips, she moved her fluffy tails around while worriedly trying to convince Amiphossia that she was enough of a fox for her.

”Eh? Yeah! But still! I want a cute Ice Fox! You are all big now, do not get so jealous! Maybe it might end up as your boyfriend or girlfriend, who knows?” said Amiphossia as she quickly chose a medium-sized Ice Fox before it was killed for Experience Points.

”B-Boyfriend?! I am a man! I do not want that! And nor a girlfriend, I have you, Amiphossia-sama!” said Sesshomaru, desperately trying to convince Amiphossia…

But Amiphossia was incredibly clueless about Sesshomaruʼs feelings, and only thought of its feelings as ʼthe natural love that a pet has for its masterʼ… the only one that she truly, romantically loved was Evan, who was helping her catch the fox.

”Ah, silly you~ One day youʼll have to get your partner and have a big family, right?” asked Amiphossia as she grabbed the fox, who had been entangled by Evanʼs slime.
